2.1.6Master Index (revised)

The Master Index can help you find the information you need in the core documentation set, as follows:

In the printed version of this book, the index items direct you to the books and pages where the topic is discussed.

In the online version of this book, clicking on an index entry in many cases will take you to the appropriate book at the point where the topic is discussed. For the Common Desktop Environment books and a few other books, clicking on the index item will take you only to the beginning of the appropriate book, where you can then use the table of contents or the book’s index to find out where the topic is discussed.

The Documentation Library on CD–ROM and the Web includes a search utility with the Master Index entry. When you enter a word or phrase you want to find, the search utility searches all Master Index entries for matches and then displays the results. Then when you click on an entry in the search results, the target book opens in its own window — in most cases, to the place in the text that is indicated by the entry. Figure 2–1 shows the result of a search on the text string “bsd.”

2.1.7Programming Support Tools

The online version of the Programming Support Tools manual is included with the General User information because it contains information of interest to non-programmers. However, the printed version is included only in the Developer’s Documentation Kit. See Section 4.1.11 for information about this manual.
